Another birthday coming up
Reflecting on the past
Through a two-way mirror
Promises that did not last
Holding on to the gains
Thinking of what was lost
Opportunities realized
But wondering at the cost
Playing the game of life
Never losing sight
Always following
The tiny little light
The candle in the dark
Asking questions always
Popping up while
Roving through the maze
Of everyday life
Sometimes happy or sad
Fondly looking forward
To Birthdays still to be had
